This collection contains records relating to a collection of Yup’ik, Iñupiat and Unangax̂ belongings donated by Paul Tovey and Gordon Marsh. Tovey’s widow contacted biologist Francis Fay, who had become friendly with the couple, in the hopes of arranging a buyer for collection. Fay, in turn, contacted Audrey Hawthorne, curator of the UBC Museum of Anthropology in 1960. Hawthorne seems to have agreed to the acquisition, but turned the collection over to Charles E. Borden at the Laboratory of Archaeology, and it was Borden who catalogued the donation. Gordon Marsh's collection was donated some time around 1963 and was catalogued by Charles E. Borden.
